AB’s exact words on Triple Lock important (though not super clearly drafted) He’s NOT proposing to break earnings link a la Thatcher If value vis-a-vis earnings is to be maintained he’s talking about some form of smoothed earnings link (Not sure how the 2.5% fits in)

I support unions and have been a member for decades. I regularly advocate unions should disagree with even a Labour gov't, to represent their members' interests. But I cannot abide this destructive fix-everything-without-touching-anything constant heckling.

It’s good for the planet to scrap a new petrol car and buy electric. Although #EVs produce more CO2 emissions when manufactured, they produce much lower emissions. The whole-life emissions for an EV are 90% lower than for combustion engine vehicles www.newscientist.com/article/2583... #ActOnClimate

To process the chaos, I'm spending a few minutes each night stitching a news diary--embroidering tiny icons representing an important story of the day. June brings us to the upside-down, both literally and figuratively, given all the wildly destabilizing news we've had in this past month.
Pie-shaped diary, with wedges for each month, and with tiny embroidered icons representing news stories from each day.
